The exhaust is a Kelleners.
The sound is very loud on start up (poor neighbors) and drops a fair amount in a few mins.
We did some full on reving at the muster as I was pulling it up on the trailer and it stated a comp with anther ute 100 yards away, we went back and forward 3-4 times each and I ended up with the final rev (so that means won the rev out)
He later came over and said to me that he didn't have any more for me.
Hard to beat a 32 valve set up for sound against a bit more basic Aussie ute.

It's got a real bark/crackle to it's sound (no resonators) but we haven't had it running under driving loads to hear the normal sound, but I'm confident it will

We don't as of yet know the weight of the Ute, or the % balance front to rear.
Shane thinks that the rear has some weight in it, so not sure if that's good or bad.

The only thing in the back of the ute will be a extremely thin layer of dust.
Clubs will go in the front with the COBRA seats.

The guy that did the interior will do a custom mat in the rear.
I'd like it to look like a giant floor matt like in the cabin.

"Meanwhile, a group of ute lovers has applied to Guinness World Records for the longest travelled convoy of utes which have made the 3450km journey.

“It really shows the support for Deniliquin and our festival,” Mr Harvie said.

No stranger to a good drive, top Australian golfer Stuart Appleby has turned his hand to a custom-built ute which was unveiled at the muster.

Appleby has been developing the BMW M5 with Shane Rowe, owner of Southern Rod and Custom, Deniliquin, for more than two years.

“After 2500 hours and 2½ years later I have no doubt whatsoever we have made this look like the best conversion of a car to a ute,” he said.

“With Shane’s work and skill we wanted this to look like a factory production car with some Aussie touches to it.

“I’m confident it’s the best in the world.” "

I did the day before, but it was a bit on "stink" so another day was pushing it.
